The Maize pattern does include an option for a hi-low hem but since I wanted to add a ruffle I did a little modification. First, I shortened the skirt 3-4" since I wanted the ruffle to be at least 3". Then I added seam allowances to both the skirt and ruffle. I gathered the ruffle to the bottom of the skirt and then continued with the instructions in the pattern.

I love all the little details on this dress- the sleeve bands, keyhole closure with ties and ruffles on the front!

A HUGE thank you to Art Gallery fabrics and Katarina Roccella for letting me be a part of the blog tour!
